About the Book

"Two little cows set off on a globe-spanning stampede"-- Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis

Filled with hilarious, read-aloud moments and adorable cows, STAMPEDE! is a fun-filled, global adventure.

Jasper and Cleo are two little cows who should be taking a nap, but ...

"It's hot and my legs are wiggly," said Jasper. "The grass is itchy and my tail is twitchy," said Cleo.

When a bite from a hungry horsefly causes the other cows in their herd to stampede, Jasper and Cleo are more than happy to join in on the fun! From scaring cowboys in the desert to causing chaos in the rainforest, the clever calves become true globetrotters.

When their traveling goes from exciting to exhausting, will they be able to stop the herd in time to make it home for a much-needed nap?

Review Quotes

--Publishers Weekly

"A herd mentality leads to unexpected hilarity in a tale that is both paean and send-up of old-fashioned cartoons."--Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
